Hi Nipun, Thanks for the explanation, Im recapping it here to make sure I understand:
When I set up a development instance of the PGA using that config file, any new user accounts are being created on the dev admin group on idp.scigap.org <http://idp.scigap.org/> , as specified by the gw56.iu.xsede.org in the airavata-server config setting. (Does this mean that if I changed this to gw77 then it would use authentication set up for the production portal?) Also, does this mean that with that config file, if I use the [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> username and appropriate password then it should grant me admin privileges to my local PGA installation? Does it also use the 'gateway-id’ (set to ‘default’ currently) to match the authentication to a specific PGA installation? Its unclear to me what role the callback URL (the 'oauth-callback-url’ parameter?) plays in the basic authentication scheme - I can understand if we were using OAuth but does this play a role in the basic scheme too? With all that said, my current situation is that while I can log in with usernames that I have created myself, I cannot log in using the admin username/password provided. I have changed the callback URL to one that is appropriate to my installation and this doesn’t have any effect that I can see. When I am logged in as one of my created users I can’t see any menus (projects, experiments, etc), perhaps because their initial user role (‘airavata-user’?) is preventing them from being recognized as an 'authorized-user’ and hence CommonUtilities.php doesn’t show the menus. I can’t login as an Admin to really check or change these settings to see if I’m correct. For now if I could get the admin login to work that would give me some more options to explore and change some settings, however, I’m not really sure what to try next to make that work.
